The Tired Technician#8073: ya but i already have an XP retro games pc
The Tired Technician#8073: so i dont really need another
DarknessFalls229#2286: alright then
The Tired Technician#8073: ill probably just clean them all up and just see if I can sell them
The Tired Technician#8073: maybe like 20 bucks a system
DarknessFalls229#2286: damn, 20 bucks for a system a regular person cant do anything with
DarknessFalls229#2286: good luck with that
The Tired Technician#8073: thanks
Alcyone#2233: you might be able to get more for the athlon as a retro rig
Alcyone#2233: I sold some hp setup with a 9500gt? for like 25
The Tired Technician#8073: eh
The Tired Technician#8073: not really looking to make a huge profit or anything, just maybe some spending cash and a clean shelf
Alcyone#2233: this one, just the board, cpu , cooler, ram, gpu and soundcard. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/807295775582191616/WIN_20200807_13_21_31_Pro.jpg
The Tired Technician#8073: for 25 bucks? thats not a bad little combo
Alcyone#2233: i think it was a 4400+ |
Alcyone#2233: hp oem board though, so no tuning options
The Tired Technician#8073: thats an athlon x2 if im not mistaken
The Tired Technician#8073: yeah?
Alcyone#2233: and I think one sata port was broken off
Alcyone#2233: yeah it was an x2
The Tired Technician#8073: so its somewhat comparable to a core 2 duo
The Tired Technician#8073: ish
The Tired Technician#8073: either way
The Tired Technician#8073: not bad
The United States Air Force#7904: more like a low end early c2d or early pentium dual core
The United States Air Force#7904: although hella better than a pentium d
The Tired Technician#8073: ^
The Tired Technician#8073: i had a pentium D that actually melted the plastic of a computer I had as a kid if you can believe that
The United States Air Force#7904: honestly I have a ton of paperweight computers
The Tired Technician#8073: the fan stopped working, and it heated up so much it burned a hole in the plastics of the inner case |
The United States Air Force#7904: oof
The United States Air Force#7904: also I spent $25 on a toshiba windows 98 laptops
The United States Air Force#7904: cuz
The United States Air Force#7904: yea
The United States Air Force#7904: idk
The Tired Technician#8073: why not
The United States Air Force#7904: yeah
The United States Air Force#7904: it has the og copy of 98
The Tired Technician#8073: not even SE?
The Tired Technician#8073: of
The United States Air Force#7904: se
The Tired Technician#8073: oof*
The United States Air Force#7904: its 98 se
The Tired Technician#8073: ah
The Tired Technician#8073: right |
The United States Air Force#7904: its soooo slow
The United States Air Force#7904: prob has 100000 viruses
The United States Air Force#7904: lmao
The Tired Technician#8073: pentium 2 or 3? or in that general era im guessing?
The United States Air Force#7904: amd k6
The Tired Technician#8073: ah
The United States Air Force#7904: upgraded 32mb ram to 128
The Tired Technician#8073: just install windows NT on it
The Tired Technician#8073: bam
The United States Air Force#7904: has an agp 2x ati radeon rage
The United States Air Force#7904: hmm
The United States Air Force#7904: wanna keep 98 on it
The United States Air Force#7904: as it is the original installation
The Tired Technician#8073: i would install DOS 6.22 and windows 3.1 on it for the meme
The Tired Technician#8073: play some reversei on that mofo |
The United States Air Force#7904: I wonder what viruses windows defender will find on it when I take out the hdd and connect it to my ide to usb
The United States Air Force#7904: I did that with a 5gb hdd with windows 98
The United States Air Force#7904: oh man trojans and other viruses were discovered by that
The Tired Technician#8073: heh
The Tired Technician#8073: id imagine
The Tired Technician#8073: oooh
The Tired Technician#8073: can it run 1602 ad?
The United States Air Force#7904: idk
The United States Air Force#7904: I don't have many windows 98 games
The Tired Technician#8073: a crying shame
The Tired Technician#8073: i loved that game as a wee lad
The United States Air Force#7904: I really only had software and parts for machines that were xp/vista/7
The Tired Technician#8073: speaking of
The United States Air Force#7904: I do have autocad 1997
The Tired Technician#8073: i should probably take a road trip back to chicago to pick up all of my old stuff |
The United States Air Force#7904: alot of old professional software
The Tired Technician#8073: if you have any keys for that stuff i might hit you up for sum of that
The United States Air Force#7904: hmm
The Tired Technician#8073: i really should get into some of these old computers and see whats in them, and see if they even work
The United States Air Force#7904: hmm
The United States Air Force#7904: I also have ancient linux
The United States Air Force#7904: mandrake
The Tired Technician#8073: thats some 2011 shizz right there
The United States Air Force#7904: nah one from the early 2000s
The Tired Technician#8073: hmmm
The United States Air Force#7904: idk which version
The United States Air Force#7904: cuz I haven't played with it since 2017
The Tired Technician#8073: I need some more coffee

The Tired Technician#8073: lmao
The Tired Technician#8073: probably not, but it would be funny
NecroFlex#9105: probably, if it's like a P45, or Q45 that prebuilts used, it will most likely work

Jazzzny#6861: does it boot?
D.D.M#8226: @Cassette-Chan sounds like codes
D.D.M#8226: Try finding the error code list
D.D.M#8226: Or il
D.D.M#8226: Ill find it
Cassette-Chan#3396: I’ve heard it’s bad RAM
Alcyone#2233: or the head is jammed on the hdd
The_Pacific_gamer#5046: could be psu, 5 beeps means the CPU is bad |
The_Pacific_gamer#5046: but there's no 6 beep or fuzz error code according to the documentation
The_Pacific_gamer#5046: ok actually i'm wrong, 6 beeps assuming yours is digital audio is reseat the CPU
The_Pacific_gamer#5046: but yours is quicksilver
The_Pacific_gamer#5046: though it could have a digital audio logic board installed
The_Pacific_gamer#5046: ok 6 beeps also means replace logic board
The_Pacific_gamer#5046: so you need a new quicksilver
The_Pacific_gamer#5046: or new board
The_Pacific_gamer#5046: @Cassette-Chan
Cassette-Chan#3396: I did some fiddling around and 2 sticks of RAM died of just me having it for a week

sandrosandro482#8710: thats good for airflow?
The_Pacific_gamer#5046: that might be also an issue |
The_Pacific_gamer#5046: but 6 beeps means replace the logic board

Bae#4506: probably ddr2 to 4 cant se much of a didfirence
Bae#4506: just a other placement of the bump
Lady Mipha#0611: DDR3
Muse#0557: X58 is ddr3
FuckinReece#0021: just basic ddr3
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Get some good RAM in there
FuckinReece#0021: or server ddr3 |
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Triple channel is good
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: ECC RAM is dirt cheap
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: If you use Xeon then yes
Lady Mipha#0611: depends on the cpu
FuckinReece#0021: its using a xeon
FuckinReece#0021: dont know exactly which one
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Then you are good to go
FuckinReece#0021: wait

Charlie Foxtrot#9831: X5670
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Very good
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: OC it
FuckinReece#0021: so ram like this would work |

Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Yes
Lady Mipha#0611: Yes
NecroFlex#9105: doubt registered would work
FuckinReece#0021: ok thanks ive never used xeons before
NecroFlex#9105: xeons do support it, but check if the board does
NecroFlex#9105: because registered ECC needs more traces to the CPU
FuckinReece#0021: does anybody have a cooler to recommend
TK#6306: I just got my hands on an Lenovo w500
2 gigs of Ram
Core 2 duo T9400
Any upgrades you guys can recommend for this?
Racey#8574: Try for more RAM and an SSD
Racey#8574: If it's a 965 chipset then you can do up to 6 GB by 4+2 GB config |
TK#6306: Should I get win 10
TK#6306: Or should I stick with 7
Racey#8574: If you debloat the shit out of it yes
Racey#8574: But you will have to do said debloating every feature update
Racey#8574: And Windows Defender is relentless on a hard drive
TK#6306: Then 7 might be better
TK#6306: These are the specs for reference https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/807522399955320862/IMG-20210206-WA0039.jpg
D.D.M#8226: Hey guys, so recently my dad bought a special 3d program for dentistry, and the thing is that program was hacked together so it wouldn't require the special dongle you would need to launch it, and got it for a cheaper price, since the software is quite expensive. And according to the guy that installed the software, we should not update windows above version 1809, or the app might stop working. Could this happen, as we plan to connect the pc to a network so we can access it remotely?
JustinXenyx#8854: First of all, i would NOT advise using bootlegged/pirated software in an actual business. You don't know if it does anything weird with sending data to some sketchy third party and using pirated software in a business setting gets **very** expensive once you're caught.
JustinXenyx#8854: The fact that they told you to avoid updating to anything later than 1809 is even MORE sketch
D.D.M#8226: Well look the software itself is very expensive, and we ars not even sure of keeping it so we bought it pirated so we can test it out for some time
JustinXenyx#8854: Oh and yes: Windows is very keen on upgrading rather outdated versions to the most newest one and only registry edits can force it to not update iirc
D.D.M#8226: Also it isnt completely in use to replace something that my parents work on
D.D.M#8226: Also all the networking stuff in the program is disabled
Jad#4841: hello all, finally got my 3060 ti and r5 5600x build done, just wanted to thank everyone that helped me out with parts and such! |
Jad#4841: i need some opinions now tho
Jad#4841: loooking to get a 3rd monitor
Jad#4841: 2 stacked on the left and 1 vertical on the right
Jad#4841: you guys think i should get a 280hz monitor to replace my 144, or a 29 inch 120hz ultrawide to put as my vertical monitor
Jad#4841: keep in mind the only game i primarily play is league of legends, and im looking to make my way to pro hopefully
Jad#4841: i also stream which is why the vertical monitor would be useful!
Foxious#1859: @Jad i mean... i personally would get an older Dell monitor, sure they arent gamer grade but they can be rotated to be vertical, perfect for example chat or something
Foxious#1859: and they are dirt cheap
Foxious#1859: and some are 75hz
Jad#4841: not worried about the rotation because i use monitor arms
Jad#4841: isee what youre saying
Jad#4841: but im just wondering if its worth upgrading my gaming monitor
Jad#4841: or just adding another monitor
Foxious#1859: your current monitor looks to be quite good
Jad#4841: yeah its 144hz and works great, idk if 280hz would make a difference for league of legends |
Foxious#1859: but im not good with monitors, i just upgraded from a decade old Fujitsu 1080p 60hz monitor to a Asus 165hz VA panel one
Jad#4841: not really playing fps games
Jad#4841: i mean i do here and there, but not religiously
Foxious#1859: league is quite slow paced so i dont see any reason to upgrade, well slow paced enough for any old monitor tbh
Foxious#1859: if im not TERRIBLY mistaken
Jad#4841: yeah thats true
Jad#4841: 144hz is good enough
Jad#4841: i guess im diving into the world of ultrawides
Jad#4841: also i code
Jad#4841: so a vertical ultrawide would be great for me
Foxious#1859: i would just get a old dell monitor for 5 quid
Foxious#1859: see if that works
Foxious#1859: not gonna hurt your wallet if it dosent work out
Jad#4841: true
Jad#4841: ill take that into account |
Jad#4841: would love to get other opinions though
Jad#4841: see what yall are thinking
zwect#1210: does anyone here have an PNY 760?
zwect#1210: i just wanted a clear photo from the backside of it to check why does one of them that i got isnt working
zwect#1210: oh nvm i found one
Rea77y#6618: I have a c2q 9300 and a c2q 8300 I also have probably about 16gb in total of ram any creative idea of what I should do with them?
Rea77y#6618: I still dont have 775 boards but I can get some for cheap
D.D.M#8226: turn it into a file server
D.D.M#8226: or smth
Jazzzny#6861: worlds worst minecraft server
D.D.M#8226: or that
D.D.M#8226: smth like your standard mc server should be good on it
read bio/description#8459: the oldest anarchy server
Cody#0117: Alright, I have a G25 wheel and the left paddle has stopped working normally, now only works when wheel is turned about 90* right.
Would this be fixable? Really like the feel of the G25 and just spent €500 on a new CPU,Motherboard and ram. So really don’t want too many expenses if possible |
I do have a spare broken G25 laying around somewhere which can be harvested for parts
What do you think is broken? The switch or just the wire? Or something else?
zwect#1210: i have a question
zwect#1210: i just got an whatever 775 intel mobo with a 7500 just to test stuff in it
zwect#1210: i remembered i have some GTX 285 thrown somewhere but i dont know if it works
if its shorted or toasted
the PSU would protect the system from exploding or some shit?
DarknessFalls229#2286: Any decent PSU should have protection for shorts and stuff, but broken cards might do all sorts of wacky things which you wouldnt want to break your motherboard. personally never had a dead GPU break or damage a board.
zwect#1210: oh ok
zwect#1210: its the yellow TX 650

Foxious#1859: One of these?
read bio/description#8459: thats not even what i found...
read bio/description#8459: let me finish my sentence will you
Foxious#1859: go ahead
read bio/description#8459: So basically it's a FTW and on some videos it has a backplate and on some it doesnt? (despite still being the FTW) The one I found for sale doesnt have a backplate which worried me cuz most ftws have a backplate
Foxious#1859: Im looking at google images and i have found the same... thing
Foxious#1859: from a bit of googling i think it could be because they made a v2 of it
read bio/description#8459: I was able to find this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/808231098222903306/unknown.png
read bio/description#8459: you mean the FTW+?
Foxious#1859: no i mean more like the Powercolor 580 red dragon
Foxious#1859: v2 was a bit cheaper
read bio/description#8459: thats not what happened according to what i found
Foxious#1859: but that actually makes sense
Foxious#1859: because in the 900 generation back plates were not that usual were they? |
read bio/description#8459: seems like the backplate was indeed bought external https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROf6h-KoGPk
read bio/description#8459: depends
Foxious#1859: i think they became more popular when the rx 400/500 GTX 1000 series came out
Foxious#1859: even my cheapo Red Dragon V2 has a beefy back plate
read bio/description#8459: thats not exactly what happened here
read bio/description#8459: basically you could only buy them externally
read bio/description#8459: but the 970 also had it so if u signed up for it early enough they would send you one free
Foxious#1859: i mean "more popular" as of "became standard"
read bio/description#8459: now why all this worries me is because the backplate has thermal pads and im worried the card might suffer without one
Foxious#1859: I remember LTT or Gamers Nexus did some testing and the backplates barely did anything
Foxious#1859: but those were 1080's so they might have been designed different
read bio/description#8459: if they were 1080s why you bother mentioning them?! Thats only bringing more confusion dude
read bio/description#8459: I talk about the 970 and you go like THE RX 580 HAD ONE
Foxious#1859: it was about the popularity increase and how they became standard on even cheap gpu's on the next gen?

jojosensei#4198: At first I wanted a 20 euros SSD but I've heard those were generally bad and could fail quite easily
D.D.M#8226: Depends
D.D.M#8226: Kingston a400 ssds have cheap controllers
D.D.M#8226: And they are bad
D.D.M#8226: Adata ssds are generally good from what ive heard of
Foxious#1859: I second that, my A400 was slower than my WD blue
D.D.M#8226: Bruh
Foxious#1859: bloody terrible
Foxious#1859: and somehow added stutter to games that were on it

NecroFlex#9105: I've seen that happen on an x99 board, you filled all ram slots and bios would only see some, cpu-z would see a few more, windows would see 2. No idea what the issue was, but i suspect it was related to traces going bad

JustinXenyx#8854: i did right after sending my message |
read bio/description#8459: usually the fix to that was in the bios
JustinXenyx#8854: But that issue isn't ryzen specific btw, usually means that the RAM either is misconfigured or just not properly put in

DarknessFalls229#2286: how much do all y'all know about h264ify? how does it work with what hardware, as i feel too old components might not make a difference without the plugin
Rea77y#6618: @read bio/description polak what happened to your 1050
read bio/description#8459: w-what
read bio/description#8459: i never had a 1050?
Rea77y#6618: didnt you have something else
Rea77y#6618: like not a 440
read bio/description#8459: I had a 960 that I sold..
Rea77y#6618: oh right
Rea77y#6618: what gpu are you buyin
Rea77y#6618: why did you sell the 960 btw? the 440 is a potato |
read bio/description#8459: cuz im upgrading anyway? damn man you dont talk here often do you
read bio/description#8459: 440 is just a backup gpu, better than i thought tbh
Rea77y#6618: really?
Rea77y#6618: my friend barely ran cs on that thing
Rea77y#6618: i remember you were saying you are upgrading for a while now
read bio/description#8459: please stop pinging me
Rea77y#6618: I am sorry
NecroFlex#9105: I don't know the extension, but considering all it does is change how videos stream, it shouldn't be too hard to understand
NecroFlex#9105: H.264 has been around for a long time now, i think from C2D times
NecroFlex#9105: Yeap, checked, since 2003
NecroFlex#9105: So any C2D and newer should have decoding support
DarknessFalls229#2286: hmmmm, so i may be pressing my luck with my 2005 ahtlon 64
NecroFlex#9105: nvm, apparently intel started putting that into their processors from the Sandy Bridge forward
NecroFlex#9105: ATI started supporting dexoding on their X1000 series GPUs and forward
NecroFlex#9105: Nvidia it was from the 6000 series, tho only a few supported it, most supported from 7000 forward |
NecroFlex#9105: and i think intel's GMA 4500M/HD had partial support, while the first gen i-series iGPU had full support
NecroFlex#9105: Sandy Bridge just changed the name a bit and made it a bit easier on it
NecroFlex#9105: atleast from what i read and how i understand it
jojosensei#4198: Which is the best GPU for 1080p ? One that is not overkill
D.D.M#8226: Gtx 8000 series and afterwards
D.D.M#8226: For amd i think its the hd 3000 series
NecroFlex#9105: you mean gaming or videos?
NecroFlex#9105: if videos, then it depends, if it's older decoding, ie. H.264, then any sandy bridge iGPU or newer is already good enough, for dedicated GPUs, if you mean on W10, then get a 5000 series or better from AMD or nvidia's 400 series or better, those have actual W10 support
NecroFlex#9105: if you mean H.265 decoding, then any 6th gen or newer intel CPU with iGPU or an nvidia GTX 950/960 or GTX 10 series or newer, for AMD it's the RX 550 or newer
D.D.M#8226: For just 1080p any intergrated graphics after 2014 are great
Foxious#1859: GTX 1070 is propably the best imo
Foxious#1859: Its fine for some 1440P gaming so its got some 1080p life for a few years
DarknessFalls229#2286: > "One that is not overkill"
Foxious#1859: its in no way overkill? just said that it had some life in it for 1080p
Foxious#1859: my rx 580 is already suffering in some games at 1080p and that thing is at 1060 level |
DarknessFalls229#2286: stop putting things at max settings then
Foxious#1859: not
Foxious#1859: at medium
Foxious#1859: for example war thunder
DarknessFalls229#2286: damn, you must be playing some highly unoptimised stuff
Foxious#1859: war thunder really aint that un optimized
Rea77y#6618: war thunder is optimized really well
Rea77y#6618: I have been playing the game since open alpha circa early 2012
Rea77y#6618: it always was optimised really well
Foxious#1859: ye
DarknessFalls229#2286: wait
DarknessFalls229#2286: so, you cant play a 2012 game at 1080p medium with an RX 580?
Rea77y#6618: no no
Foxious#1859: it has been upgraded mate
Rea77y#6618: its not a 2012 game |
Rea77y#6618: the engine was swapped
Rea77y#6618: like 4 times at this point
DarknessFalls229#2286: ah
Foxious#1859: a few times actually
Foxious#1859: uses Dakor 6.0 rn
DarknessFalls229#2286: that makes sense then
Rea77y#6618: yes
Foxious#1859: altough dakor really seems to dislike amd cards so maybe a 1060 would fair better
Foxious#1859: anyways, a 1070 is a fine card for 1080p
Foxious#1859: considering it can be had for quite cheap if you look around
DarknessFalls229#2286: not currently
DarknessFalls229#2286: going for around 250 euro here
Foxious#1859: i got my 1070 for 200 in the summer
DarknessFalls229#2286: seen them for below 200 before this whole ordeal
Foxious#1859: could have gotten a strix for 180 but im a sucker for fe... |
but yeah the whole ordeal really jacked the prices
Foxious#1859: they started to rise about a month after i bought mine
DarknessFalls229#2286: all prices somehow
DarknessFalls229#2286: it sucks
Rea77y#6618: can the geforce 6100 run hd youtube or am I better using integrated core 2 graphics
DarknessFalls229#2286: core 2 doesnt have integrated graphics, only the motherboards may have it
DarknessFalls229#2286: but i doubt the 6100 does hd youtube
Rea77y#6618: interesting so you are saying my mobo has integrated graphics?
DarknessFalls229#2286: yes
DarknessFalls229#2286: probably integrated in the chipset
jojosensei#4198: I guess if 1070 is the best for 1080p, 2060, 1660 ti and super are good to go too ?
DarknessFalls229#2286: yeah sure
jojosensei#4198: Which one are generally cheaper between all of those ?
DarknessFalls229#2286: i think 1660ti or 1070
jojosensei#4198: Let's hope price goes down quickly |
NecroFlex#9105: not gonna happen
NecroFlex#9105: the chip supply is still crap so the prices will stay high
NecroFlex#9105: now i'm a bit angry i didn't try to get a new 3080 back when the supply was a thing and prices weren't as high, or a used 2070
Bae#4506: am gonna put back vega 56 airboost oc bios on my gpu to unbrick it can anyone help
Bae#4506: if so dm or ping
Alcyone#2233: @Bae you just need whatever you used to flash it the first time and igpu or a 2nd card for display out.

The United Earth citizen#0382: does anybody here know a thing or two about dvd players?
The United Earth citizen#0382: i was asked to repair one that does very weird glitches when the disk is inserted, and then spits out a disk read error. Tried about 10 different disks both legit and not so much, tried cleaning the laser lens, result is the same.
Both laser and motor are working, so i'm guessing it has something to do with a decoding chip
https://youtu.be/mZ-XAdJ1WrE |
D.D.M#8226: I have dealt with a few dvd players but i havent heard anything like this
D.D.M#8226: Too me it looks like its firmware is probably corrupted
D.D.M#8226: Maybe run it while its all apart and see if something is off
D.D.M#8226: And whats the model of the dvd player?
The United Earth citizen#0382: Samsung P650K
And thing is afaik it was working just fine untill last week
D.D.M#8226: Huh
D.D.M#8226: Ima see what i can come up with
D.D.M#8226: But to me it either looks like hardware failure
D.D.M#8226: Or firmware corruption
Bae#4506: thats what i cant do cause i did not flash it
Alcyone#2233: was it already flashed when you bought it, you just need atiflash, and the correct bios from techpowerup to reflash
Bae#4506: do it only flash one bios and can i recover if i fuck up
Alcyone#2233: yes and yes
Bae#4506: ok how do i do that |
Bae#4506: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTqNP-N38BY this legit????
Bae#4506: wait it was wrong problem
Bae#4506: well fuck
NecroFlex#9105: Potential bit-rot, you might have to reflash the bios/firmware
D.D.M#8226: yeah sounds like it
D.D.M#8226: but the video also kinda looks like there is smth wrong with the av
D.D.M#8226: or the video chip itself
read bio/description#8459: how good/bad is amd relive recording? how does it compare to maxwell shadowplay recording?
Foxious#1859: Amd relive is utter shit
Foxious#1859: There is no notification when at starts and half the time it wont even start
Foxious#1859: Well, from my experience with the 580 atleast
Alcyone#2233: mine had a little box at the top of the screen
NecroFlex#9105: I've used it on my R9 Nano on the 2nd PC i had, it was ok, but Shadowplay is better, but Relive is still less straining than recording using OBS for example and it looks about as good
NecroFlex#9105: I had no issues showing when it was recording and such
NecroFlex#9105: the only thing i hate is the overlay with all the info, takes up too much space, but tbh i didn't really use it much and overall didn't check if i can change the sizes and such |

Alcyone#2233: i dont know anything about oem, if the fans arent spinning I would suspect the psu as well
the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: yeh
Alcyone#2233: try removing the eps cable and seeing if they spin
the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: hmm ok |
Alcyone#2233: i have had 2x 1155 boards die and with the cpu power plugged in there was a hard short somewhere
Alcyone#2233: both times the hardware worked in another board
the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: telling him rn
NecroFlex#9105: standard mATX board, so any PSU will work for testing. No power at all would mean a bad PSU, it worked just fine before? Were there any storms in the area?
the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: this is the psu , seems like some old cooler master https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/809541697645576192/IMG-20210211-WA0137.jpg

read bio/description#8459: psu prob
the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: not crashed it like powered off
Alcyone#2233: could be a dead board too, hard to tell. an led being on could be a sign that the board is alive tho
the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: idk i thought that led was usefull
the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: especially the little table
Alcyone#2233: my p8p67 pro just shut off one day watching youtube and never posted again
NecroFlex#9105: unplug the power to the PSU and remove the CMOS for around 10min, then put the CMOS battery back in and plug the PSU back into the wall and try
the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: aight aight
NecroFlex#9105: if it's a bad cap, that could potentially reset it well enough to atleast give some sign of life

NecroFlex#9105: not that old, age isn't the issue why it died
NecroFlex#9105: it was a cheap unit to begin with
NecroFlex#9105: actually...it is technically age due to the cheapness of it
NecroFlex#9105: i have older PSUs that work like new, no caps needing replacing and all that
Dogecode#7321: ive got a psu from 2003 that was still powering an i5 system |
Dogecode#7321: replaced it but yeah it still worked
Alcyone#2233: I have a psu from 1994 that still powers the pc it came with

The Tired Technician#8073: @Dogecode thank you, that did work
The Tired Technician#8073: You are a saint
Dogecode#7321: np
got it years ago in the battle chest thing with the frozen throne expansion
Bae#4506: can second gpu bios affect other one
The Tired Technician#8073: im pretty sure as long as you load only one, they wont affect eachother
The Tired Technician#8073: but if you dont have a dual bios card, it might one might be affected by the other
Bae#4506: then why do both bios have same problem
The Tired Technician#8073: problem being?
Bae#4506: bluescreen thread stuck in device driver or just a black screen randomly only while games are running
The Tired Technician#8073: hmmm
The Tired Technician#8073: sounds like a power limit problem potentially? |
The Tired Technician#8073: what card is it?
Bae#4506: msi radeon vega 56 airboost oc 8gb
Bae#4506: with custom cooler and one bricked bios
The Tired Technician#8073: most common issue im seeing is thermal protection issues
The Tired Technician#8073: when you put on a custom cooler, did you double check that all the power delivery and everything else other than the die is properly cooled?
Bae#4506: it is
The Tired Technician#8073: looking on newegg reviews, it seems a lot of people have the exact same issue
The Tired Technician#8073: lots of 1 egg reviews
Bae#4506: hm
Bae#4506: can it be fixed?
The Tired Technician#8073: from reviews, it seems that its an MSI problem from bad card design
The Tired Technician#8073: i would contact msi customer support and see if you can RMA
Bae#4506: what is bad about it
The Tired Technician#8073: thermal protection issues mainly
The Tired Technician#8073: improper cooling of not just the GPU itself, but a couple other things on the card |
Bae#4506: i dont have stock cooler so it should be fine
The Tired Technician#8073: and bad power delivery system
Bae#4506: ah
The Tired Technician#8073: ive never had that card in particular, or a vega 56 in general
The Tired Technician#8073: so im not an expert on the issue
The Tired Technician#8073: but i would just give msi a ring and say something along the lines of "what the hell"
Bae#4506: yea
The Tired Technician#8073: sorry i couldnt be much help
Bae#4506: seems to be not only msi in this case https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/809587110662504448/image0.png

The Tired Technician#8073: double the vram too, which is nice

The Tired Technician#8073: but thats an FX based laptop

The Tired Technician#8073: not the best anyways

The Tired Technician#8073: the radeon software is indeed pretty easy to use
The Tired Technician#8073: yes
The Tired Technician#8073: even if i dont have to use it for my main computer
Bae#4506: some people callong it "advanced" dosent make sense
The Tired Technician#8073: advanced? i wouldnt go that far. I would say just simplified |
Bae#4506: yea
The Tired Technician#8073: gives you all the information you need to know in a good format

The Tired Technician#8073: pentium 4 class celeron
Bae#4506: my amd duron is better then
The Tired Technician#8073: i should probably actually get my core 2 quad machine working again

Bae#4506: get 2 3090 running sli
The Tired Technician#8073: pog
Bae#4506: just outside case
The Tired Technician#8073: im thinking maybe HD 7750 though
The Tired Technician#8073: its kind of a potato card, but it should pair nicely
The Tired Technician#8073: at least it has HDMI output
Bae#4506: yea
The Tired Technician#8073: why i would buy it though, i probably wouldnt
The Tired Technician#8073: i dont have a use for that kind of system
The Tired Technician#8073: i dont make videos on tech like the owner of this server
The Tired Technician#8073: and i dont need another retro games box
Bae#4506: there is always need for more computers
The Tired Technician#8073: i dont need it though |
Bae#4506: use it as server
The Tired Technician#8073: already got a core 2 quad system for that
Bae#4506: hm
Bae#4506: get linux make gaming vms
The Tired Technician#8073: on a pentium D?
Bae#4506: ye
The Tired Technician#8073: id rather just use my older AMD system for that
Bae#4506: F
The Tired Technician#8073: i have a athlon 64 3700+ system laying in idle that i could use that for
Bae#4506: wanna trade for core 2 duo system
The Tired Technician#8073: i mean i might get more use out of that
The Tired Technician#8073: why would you want to trade for that though?
The Tired Technician#8073: single core, not very powerful
Bae#4506: F
The Tired Technician#8073: I guess you could upgrade it to a dual core |
The Tired Technician#8073: But I see no reason to use it
The Tired Technician#8073: also im having the best day of my life right now
The Tired Technician#8073: my motherboard suddenly doesnt want to have anything to do with 3 of my sata ports
The Tired Technician#8073: completely dead
The Tired Technician#8073: so now 3 of my hard drives are useless
The Tired Technician#8073: this is the second board ive had this same issue with
The Tired Technician#8073: i can now say definitively
The Tired Technician#8073: fuck gigabyte
The United States Air Force#7904: F
Dogecode#7321: did they disable themselves in the bios
sometimes that happens and it wont work unless you toggle the individual ports back to enabled
Jeffrey#9213: So my buddy is having issues with his PC. His keyboard is working intermediately, and his GPU (RX560D) sometimes displays nothing (with sound). I've updated the BIOS on his motherboard (M5A97 R2.0), and tried different display drivers. I then swapped out his 430w EVGA with a Delta 525w PSU, to see if anything would change. His PC has also been rather slow with his new GPU (RX560D) Any ideas?
The Tired Technician#8073: I even checked in bios. Completely MIA
The Tired Technician#8073: Even the mobo theyre built into doesnt detect them
JustinXenyx#8854: Older boards can be fucky with polaris cards so it wouldn't surprise me if that would be causing the issues |
Jeffrey#9213: Well fuck
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Yeah
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: It has something to do with UEFI compatibility
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: NVIDIA cards are better in this regard
Jeffrey#9213: Very strange
Jeffrey#9213: Is there a motherboard that is compatible with an FX-8300, that would work properly?
Jeffrey#9213: Well wait, he has a UEFI bios.
JustinXenyx#8854: It would probably end out working cheaper to switch to Sandy or Ivy Bridge than to get a different AM3+ board
Jeffrey#9213: Hmm...
Jeffrey#9213: I suppose I could return the RX 560D and find a NVIDIA alternative?
Jeffrey#9213: I really don't want to replace the whole platform.
The Tired Technician#8073: Could always get a gt 1030 or something similar to that class of card
The Tired Technician#8073: Or maybe go older AMD. R9 280 or similar?
Bae#4506: anyone wanna send me 1dogecoin?
read bio/description#8459: thats worthless mate |
Bae#4506: sadge
D.D.M#8226: Haha funny money
JustinXenyx#8854: I think with COVID shenanigans it will legitimately be easier to switch to a newer platform instead of replacing the graphics card
The Tired Technician#8073: me when cyberpunk doesnt run very well on my rig
The Tired Technician#8073: sadge
The Tired Technician#8073: pretty sure my CPU is too weak
D.D.M#8226: Reminds me of my laptops shit software
D.D.M#8226: Which made cp run like shit
D.D.M#8226: :pain:
The Tired Technician#8073: with your spec, you should be able to run it fine tho
The Tired Technician#8073: i got a decade old CPU
The Tired Technician#8073: ish
The Tired Technician#8073: i forget what it actually is
The Tired Technician#8073: but its a xeon e3 something
The Tired Technician#8073: basically its the xeon equivalent of the i7-2600 |
The Tired Technician#8073: or thereabouts
D.D.M#8226: Yeah i had a e3-1240v2
D.D.M#8226: Also about the software
D.D.M#8226: It basically has a profile
D.D.M#8226: Which makes the pc quiter
The Tired Technician#8073: but also downclocks all your shizz
The Tired Technician#8073: right?
D.D.M#8226: From what ive seen
D.D.M#8226: It doesn't down clock
D.D.M#8226: It parks 4 of the cores and 8 threads
D.D.M#8226: And probs downclocks the cpu and gpu too
D.D.M#8226: But
The Tired Technician#8073: any way to go into radeon software and disable that?
D.D.M#8226: No its asuses app
D.D.M#8226: Its an asus laptop |
D.D.M#8226: But the thing was
D.D.M#8226: I could set a different profile for each game
D.D.M#8226: From sound, rgb and other stuff
D.D.M#8226: But it had a fan profile, but my dumm brain thought its nothing special
D.D.M#8226: But it was
D.D.M#8226: Because asuses software has 4 modes, windows, silent balanced and turbo
D.D.M#8226: Abd i thought that setting the fan profile will do sum magical bs
D.D.M#8226: But that fan profile activated that specified mode, which was silent
The Tired Technician#8073: you could always take out the battery and clear cmos
The Tired Technician#8073: even on a laptop
D.D.M#8226: No no
D.D.M#8226: I deleted the software
D.D.M#8226: Its fine now
D.D.M#8226: But thats in windows
D.D.M#8226: Not in the bios |
D.D.M#8226: Windows does a better job at managing the fan profiles
The Tired Technician#8073: my fans are basically always at max chooch
The Tired Technician#8073: cuz i have a real hot CPU, and a real hot GPU
D.D.M#8226: My laptop is loud
D.D.M#8226: But tolerable
The Tired Technician#8073: with only a single 120mm fan for intake, and the PSU and a single 80mm fan for exhaust
The Tired Technician#8073: like a 1070 is not a chill card
D.D.M#8226: Ye thats a whole lotaa fans
The Tired Technician#8073: i should probs install another 80mm fan on the one extra slot in the side panel
The Tired Technician#8073: extra cooling for my cpu and gpu
D.D.M#8226: Yeah you should i think
The Tired Technician#8073: for reference, i have the rosewill srm-01b case
The Tired Technician#8073: with a 1070, and an i7
The Tired Technician#8073: that thing is such a hotbox
D.D.M#8226: Looks very closed up |
D.D.M#8226: Frok pics
The Tired Technician#8073: yeah, its not the greatest case
The Tired Technician#8073: but i also got it for 10 USD
The Tired Technician#8073: so
D.D.M#8226: Cant argue with that
D.D.M#8226: But i think the 1070 will be the hottest
The Tired Technician#8073: before the 1070, i had an R9 280X
The Tired Technician#8073: that thing was actually a fire hazard
D.D.M#8226: So what i have resorted on my brothers pc is ti mount a 80 mm fan on the where the pcie brackets would go
D.D.M#8226: So his 770 would get better airflow
The Tired Technician#8073: 770 was a good card
The Tired Technician#8073: but also real hot
D.D.M#8226: Yes
The Tired Technician#8073: i had it for awhile in a pentium machine
The Tired Technician#8073: i think it was the G4560? |
D.D.M#8226: And the fan does a good job
The Tired Technician#8073: was a pretty good matchup
D.D.M#8226: Giving air to the gou
D.D.M#8226: Gpu
D.D.M#8226: The last time i checked
The Tired Technician#8073: well once i get my hands on another 80mm fan, ill stick it to the side panel of the case to give a little bit more ait
The Tired Technician#8073: air*
D.D.M#8226: Also what i7 do you have?
The Tired Technician#8073: well its a xeon, but last i checked it was somewhat equal to the i7-2600
The Tired Technician#8073: its a xeon e3 something
D.D.M#8226: Hmm
D.D.M#8226: ¯\\_(ツ)\_/¯
The Tired Technician#8073: hang on
The Tired Technician#8073: i can check
D.D.M#8226: Probs still quite good |
The Tired Technician#8073: it is
The Tired Technician#8073: a "Xeon E3-1275"
D.D.M#8226: Oh
D.D.M#8226: Nice
The Tired Technician#8073: it does its job fine
D.D.M#8226: I had a 1240v2
D.D.M#8226: Which is my brothers now
The Tired Technician#8073: so.... ivy bridge? if im remembering right?
The Tired Technician#8073: whereas mine is sandy bridge
D.D.M#8226: Yes
The Tired Technician#8073: i was debating getting the xeon e3-1230 because it was a little cheaper
The Tired Technician#8073: but then i was like, the bigger number is only like 10 bucks more expensive
The Tired Technician#8073: so i said whatever and got the more expensive one
The Tired Technician#8073: 4.2ghz OCd compared to 3.3ghz max is certainly nice
D.D.M#8226: Ye good choice |
Luggy#9237: hey, where could I find Windows xp drivers?????
D.D.M#8226: Depends on system
D.D.M#8226: Just search for your part
D.D.M#8226: And you might come across a driver
Luggy#9237: did just that, but only found two drivers, video and audio, of wich the audio doesnt work.
Luggy#9237: so I got no audio, no usbm no network.
Luggy#9237: *usb
navibu#7218: Hey guys should i upgrade the GTX1650 super for 1660?
Foxious#1859: Ehh
Luggy#9237: not really, only gona get like 3 to 5 percent more power
Foxious#1859: 1660 super
Trippy#7592: kind of a waste of money at that point
Trippy#7592: id just save up and get yourself something real nice
navibu#7218: The reason is I'm using the zotac one, which is basically crap
navibu#7218: Super loud and pretty hot |
Foxious#1859: How costly are 1070's over there?
Foxious#1859: i can recommend with the entirety of my soul
Trippy#7592: speaking of temps
Trippy#7592: is it normal for my 1080ti to idle at 67-75
Trippy#7592: never really questioned it cause it did what i needed but compared to other cards ive had this thing seems a little hot
Foxious#1859: how old is the thing?
Trippy#7592: no clue, got it used on ebay for $200 with a bent bracket from some kid
Trippy#7592: been using it since very lat 2018 running 3 4k monitors on it and constantly rendering 4k footage
Foxious#1859: yeah the paste is gone
Trippy#7592: ive been holding off on repasting the thing cause the cooler is bent a little and if its moved slightly it just rattles the whole damn time
Trippy#7592: guess ill have to get to it
Foxious#1859: but if you take it apart, you can fix it
Foxious#1859: What model is it?
Foxious#1859: I mean, is it founders?
Trippy#7592: aorus |
navibu#7218: Cheapest 1070 here are selling for $165
Foxious#1859: very nice
Foxious#1859: i would pick it up
Foxious#1859: bought my founders for 200 and have been incredibly happy about my purchase ever since
navibu#7218: but most of these cards are ex-mining
navibu#7218: So I'm a little bit concern
Foxious#1859: 1070 for ex mining?
Foxious#1859: i tought they used only rx 580's and 1080ti's
navibu#7218: yep they use everything for mining
Foxious#1859: Oh btw, what sort of airflow does your case have?
Foxious#1859: if you like the look (like me) or have bad airflow (like me) i would recommend the Founders edition, as it blows the air out of the case
navibu#7218: pretty decent airflow with 6 fan
navibu#7218: i used to have the sapphire rx570 one which is peak at 58 on full load
NecroFlex#9105: Go to device manager, open up the device without a driver, there go to details and "hardware id" and then type that into google and you should easily find drivers
DarknessFalls229#2286: usually you can also look up the motherboard and get a lot of drivers from the support page of the motherboard |
DarknessFalls229#2286: like chipset, LAN, USB and audio
DarknessFalls229#2286: also potential bios updates if youre not running latest
Lady Mipha#0611: ^^^^
D.D.M#8226: Hey guys so my friend has been telling me that some games on his laptop dont run very well, even though the thing has a i5 9300h 8gb ram and a 1050 with 4gb vram. I will take gta 5 as an example. It runs at 20 30 fps on lowest settings nat res, so i set everything in the nvidia control panel to use the 1050, and still it runs like ass. Same with apex legends and other games i dont remember. But the laptop also runs hot but not that hot so the cpu and gpu would down clock
Any ideas?
D.D.M#8226: Also its an asus vivobook laptop with a clean install of win 10
The United States Air Force#7904: did you check for any windows updates
The United States Air Force#7904: and run the laptop off the charger
D.D.M#8226: Everything is the latest stuff
D.D.M#8226: And on ac power
The United States Air Force#7904: my gaming laptop is absolute dogshit when not on ac
The United States Air Force#7904: oh
D.D.M#8226: So is with every laptop
The United States Air Force#7904: check to see if anything is hogging the laptops resources
D.D.M#8226: No nothing is hogging it |
D.D.M#8226: Its on a fresh install
The United States Air Force#7904: hmm
D.D.M#8226: Only installed steam and firefox
D.D.M#8226: And deleted the bloatware from the Microsoft store
The United States Air Force#7904: is it a 1050 maxq?
D.D.M#8226: No standard
D.D.M#8226: With 4gb vram
D.D.M#8226: According to
D.D.M#8226: Everything
The United States Air Force#7904: maybe it it thermal throttling as you said it got hot
The United States Air Force#7904: well
The United States Air Force#7904: you said its not running too hot
D.D.M#8226: Yes
D.D.M#8226: Also weird thing is task manager isnt showing any usage on the 1050
D.D.M#8226: Only slightly on the igpu |
The United States Air Force#7904: hmm
The United States Air Force#7904: so maybe thats why
D.D.M#8226: Like 20%
The United States Air Force#7904: its using igpu
D.D.M#8226: I am suspecting that
D.D.M#8226: But 20%
D.D.M#8226: Usage
D.D.M#8226: And the fact i set the 1050 as the default gpu for 3d programs
The United States Air Force#7904: hmm odd
The United States Air Force#7904: imma put this link in just because https://appuals.com/how-to-switch-between-displays-dgpu-gpu-intel-and-nvidia/
D.D.M#8226: Hmm
D.D.M#8226: K ima check it
D.D.M#8226: But i am not with my friend rn
hare_ware#4880: Does anyone know of there's a CU unlock bios for the HP OEM RX460? Or will any BIOS work? If not how can I do the mod myself?
hare_ware#4880: Wait a minute... I think this card already has been modded, either by the last owner (who listed it as new from HP, but was surplus) or these HP Omen cards come premodded... http://gpuz.techpowerup.com/21/02/14/t5b.png |
D.D.M#8226: @The United States Air Force so i followed the link but still nothing
D.D.M#8226: Gta still runs bad
hare_ware#4880: Make sure theres no power options in the bios
D.D.M#8226: The bios doesn't have anything power related
Rea77y#6618: Download hw info run the game and see how much the igpu is loaded and what is its temperature since my old 840m ran gta better
Lady Mipha#0611: ^^^^
D.D.M#8226: Looking at task manager the igpu reaches between 75 to 80 c and same with the 1050
D.D.M#8226: Gonna check hw info now
D.D.M#8226: Nope same as task manager
D.D.M#8226: Anybody else?
hare_ware#4880: What settings are you running the games at? And what does your CPU usage look like?
D.D.M#8226: Cpu is like 20% to 50% depending on area in gta 5
D.D.M#8226: It has 8gb ram
D.D.M#8226: And takes up to 6gb
D.D.M#8226: Igpu goes up to 20% |
D.D.M#8226: dGpu goes to 5%
D.D.M#8226: All the time
D.D.M#8226: Its on a fresh install too
D.D.M#8226: I also installed every possible driver i could
D.D.M#8226: That would affect performance
D.D.M#8226: And i also updated the bios
D.D.M#8226: Update: i used the unigine heaven benchmark and that makes the 1050 util to jump to 70%
D.D.M#8226: But the igpu also jumps to 20
Bae#4506: put on ray tracing
Bae#4506: 2fps
TofuDelivery86#8914: So I got two identical H55 boards (Intel DH55PJ) and I am having the exact same issue with both
TofuDelivery86#8914: They have both been sitting in their boxes for years, likely never been used
TofuDelivery86#8914: On each one, when I try to power it on by jumping the power switch on the header, nothing happens
TofuDelivery86#8914: No fanspin, no video output from either board or dGPU
TofuDelivery86#8914: I've tried jumping the reset switch, removing and reseating ram, testing with a known good PSU, replacing the CMOS battery, messing with the CMOS jumper, with no luck |
TofuDelivery86#8914: It seems odd for both (if they are failed) to fail in the exact same way
Alcyone#2233: are you sure youre bridging the correct pins?
TK#6306: Got a hp probook 4520s
But it starts heating up as soon as I use it for 5 mins
It's unusable for longer periods
It gets unbearably hot
Any help is appreciated https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/810913009626513418/20210215_220650.jpg
Foxious#1859: @TK I googled it and found a review of the laptop from 2010
Foxious#1859: i presume that the thermal paste is gone
TK#6306: Lemme apply a new layer
Foxious#1859: Just remember to that laptops usually have the cpu's delidded in my experience
Foxious#1859: so be careful with the pasting
Foxious#1859: anyways, a really nice laptop imo, even tough it is quite old
TK#6306: I'll be careful
TK#6306: Thank you |
TK#6306: :)
rriot#6100: Get rid of the dust and apply new thermal paste ye
rriot#6100: Should fix it
Foxious#1859: @TK would you mind testing how team fortress 2 runs on that thing when you are done? i am really interested how that runs nowadays on old high tier laptops
rriot#6100: Oh also probooks are a bitch to take apart for people that have never opened a laptop before
rriot#6100: Should be no issue though if you follow a guide
rriot#6100: Took apart quite a few myself and they always have an insane amount of different screws
Foxious#1859: and if he does it right the first time, it wont need it in what? 5 years?, well if except if he swaps a SSD into it
rriot#6100: Pretty much, it’s very worth doing
rriot#6100: Just prepare and get containers for the screws and crap
rriot#6100: Ssd is also as easy as sliding the bottom cover and undoing 5 screws
rriot#6100: Gotta love probooks and thinkpads
NecroFlex#9105: Nope, not on the 4520, you have to remove the top part, it sits under the palmrest
NecroFlex#9105: Older probooks are shite
rriot#6100: Wtf I swear I took apart this exact model |
rriot#6100: The 450 g series are fantastic
NecroFlex#9105: Ok that's basically a plastic elitebook
rriot#6100: I get so many probooks at work to do maintenance on I lose count
NecroFlex#9105: 4520s bottom base https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/810920469909733506/s-l640.jpg
NecroFlex#9105: So ya gotta come from the top
rriot#6100: Ah nvm I was thinking of a different type then
rriot#6100: Ye that sucks major dong
TofuDelivery86#8914: yes, triple checked the board manual and the silkscreen on the board
NecroFlex#9105: What if you jump the psu while it's connected?
TofuDelivery86#8914: how would I do that?
NecroFlex#9105: Well when it's connected to the board you put a bridge on the green wire and a black ground wire
NecroFlex#9105: Green wire is the +5vsb
TofuDelivery86#8914: hmm
TofuDelivery86#8914: well if I do get it working via that method, what would the issue with the board be?
NecroFlex#9105: Green one aka power on |
NecroFlex#9105: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/810921677667041360/Screenshot_20210215-181258_Firefox.jpg
NecroFlex#9105: I mean, it's just to see fan spin, since you're forcing it on, the bios most likely won't load at all
NecroFlex#9105: But this shows 2 things, either the actual bios is fucked, tho for both boards to have fucked bioses would be odd
Or 2. The power delivery system is fucked, where? Idk, you'd have to check around with a multimeter
TofuDelivery86#8914: hmmm
TofuDelivery86#8914: still seems weird that both would have the same issue
NecroFlex#9105: I mean, worst case scenario you'll see smoke from where the issue might be
TofuDelivery86#8914: Lmao
TofuDelivery86#8914: I should also mention the 5vsb light on the board does light up when psu is turned on
NecroFlex#9105: Check the voltage on the power pin
NecroFlex#9105: The power on pin, the one you short to power the board on
TofuDelivery86#8914: ah right
NecroFlex#9105: Ik i had a z87 board that had a dead power "button"
NecroFlex#9105: So it would only power on via cmos reset |
NecroFlex#9105: But then work flawlessly
NecroFlex#9105: No clue why, never found out
Alcyone#2233: ahh I didnt even think about that, make sure the cmos reset jumper is in the run config, most boards wont power on at all with it on reset
Lady Mipha#0611: ^^^^^ that is actually true
Lady Mipha#0611: had a Acer veriton that did that
NecroFlex#9105: I honestly didn't think of that either lol
NecroFlex#9105: Rookie mistake :Oof:
TofuDelivery86#8914: Ok according to the multimeter I've got 3 volts going on each side of the power button header
TofuDelivery86#8914: Oh wait
TofuDelivery86#8914: I just noticed something
TofuDelivery86#8914: The PSU fan is cycling on and off
NecroFlex#9105: Power the pau off, unplug the cpu power, then power the psu on
NecroFlex#9105: Psu off*
Alcyone#2233: are the cpus you have supported on launch bios?
NecroFlex#9105: Well, now i can ask for help aswell, if there's anyone here who knows "server" stuff. I have an ASRock X99 Extreme6 in a server case that has sas-8087 connectors for the backplane. It has 6 connectors, but i only have 5 internal on my sas controllers (and 5 external :Xdxdxd: ) i wanted to use a sas-8087 to 4x sata, but connecting the sata to the motherboard sata connectors and the sas-8087 to the backplane, but it doesn't work. Does the motherboard have to support this? The backplane doesn't have a controller or anything, just splits the sas to 4 sata. |
TofuDelivery86#8914: cpu I've got is an i3-550, however this happens with the cpu installed or not
TofuDelivery86#8914: Rn i don't even have the cpu in this board as I've tried with the other board and no luck
TK#6306: I will surely try it
Alcyone#2233: well its not gonna attempt post with no cpu
Foxious#1859: Oi
Foxious#1859: Who pinged me
Foxious#1859: Just dont remove the ping
Alcyone#2233: put one stick of ram in the appropriate slot and a cpu, doesnt even need paste, just set a cooler on
TofuDelivery86#8914: welp
TofuDelivery86#8914: with the cpu and a stick of ram it immediately gets fanspin
TofuDelivery86#8914: .
TofuDelivery86#8914: thanks for your help guys, later if i find the time to test more of it ill let yall know if it posts lol

Budget#8265: will this work?
Cake.exe#6828: @Budget yes, let it dry for a few days before applying power
Budget#8265: But like yea cards arent anywhere near as fragile as they were back in idek the 70s
Cake.exe#6828: i spilled a glass of water on my VegaFE and it let it dry for like a week, works fine
read bio/description#8459: its still on a carpet
read bio/description#8459: i mean it does have a backplate so it should be fine I guess?
Budget#8265: Test before buying
Budget#8265: or buy via a site that allows refunds
read bio/description#8459: it does but its more hassle u know

NecroFlex#9105: unless he played with the card on the carpet like it was a train, then it's most likely dead due to static, but just taking a pic on the carpet won't kill it
Alcyone#2233: I should test this

NecroFlex#9105: faulty sensor then
NecroFlex#9105: backup important data regardless
NecroFlex#9105: My friend's ram died like that, the bosses kids saw the ram and took it and played trains with them, one stick was dead, other had memtest errors |
NecroFlex#9105: tho that was like SDRAM time, but still
NecroFlex#9105: RAM in really not okwith static
NecroFlex#9105: so if the static goes to the chips on the GPU, it could kill them
NecroFlex#9105: but it's more of a stroke of bad luck than anything else
Alcyone#2233: ram seems the most sensitive, probably lack of any esd caps
D.D.M#8226: Anybody know a way to delete all drivers at once?

sandrosandro482#8710: But when I do that
sandrosandro482#8710: The game goes mega low fps
sandrosandro482#8710: Any idea how I can fix this
Jad#4841: you guys recommend overclocking a r5 5600x
Jad#4841: and is there some kind of amd softwware than can optimize your cpu
TofuDelivery86#8914: precision boost 2 iirc
TofuDelivery86#8914: there's also some other 3rd party software but that's for zen2
TofuDelivery86#8914: update: got it to post without issue https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/811088746141319168/IMG_20210215_231110638.jpg
Lady Mipha#0611: what was wrong
TofuDelivery86#8914: 1) CMOS jumper was absent for no apparent reason
2) i may have been using the wrong side of the cpu power connector
TofuDelivery86#8914: i stole a jumper off another board temporarily
TofuDelivery86#8914: too bad that board needs the intrusion switch and usb/ps2 jumpers in at all times for it to work lol
The Tired Technician#8073: got a question to anyone who knows |
The Tired Technician#8073: will I be able to reuse old like windows 7 or vista keys from an OEM machine on something else entirely, or just on that system?\
TofuDelivery86#8914: board in question, dailied it until 2017 with a pentium e5200 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/811093618931925012/IMG_20210215_140308007_HDR.jpg
TofuDelivery86#8914: no, oem keys are tied to that hardware
TofuDelivery86#8914: if you have something of a same / similar model it may work
The Tired Technician#8073: and if that machine is completely offline?
TofuDelivery86#8914: like if the motherboard is the same
TofuDelivery86#8914: offline or not it won't work
The Tired Technician#8073: F
TofuDelivery86#8914: keys wise oem stuff is best left for that hardware only
The Tired Technician#8073: cuz i have a bunch of old dell, zt, and hp keys and systems laying around
TofuDelivery86#8914: now there are ways to get around activation pretty easily but i won't discuss that here
The Tired Technician#8073: XP, Vista, Win7
The Tired Technician#8073: youre saying thats all useless?
TofuDelivery86#8914: it's useful only on whatever model of computer it's attached to
The Tired Technician#8073: but what if i want to bring some of these computers to win10? i cant use those keys anymore |
TofuDelivery86#8914: keys are generally tied to motherboard, an identical/similar replacement board is intended to work
TofuDelivery86#8914: you'd still be able to use the old key
TofuDelivery86#8914: if you activated oem win7 on a pc and upgraded it to 10, the 7 key would still work if you reinstalled win7 on that computer
TofuDelivery86#8914: as well as whatever key 10 decides to use would work on reinstalling 10 (don't remember if the 10 key is the same as the 7 key or if it changes)
The Tired Technician#8073: so if its the same machine, and i installed win10 on it
The Tired Technician#8073: and i put in the XP key tied to the hardare
The Tired Technician#8073: hardware*
The Tired Technician#8073: it should work?
TofuDelivery86#8914: you can't upgrade XP to 10
TofuDelivery86#8914: only 7 and later you can upgrade to 10, at least for free
The Tired Technician#8073: what if i go step by step
The Tired Technician#8073: XP to vista, to 7, to 8, to 10
TofuDelivery86#8914: 7 can go directly to 10
TofuDelivery86#8914: but more importantly
The Tired Technician#8073: so i can cut out 8 |
TofuDelivery86#8914: To upgrade to vista or 7 you'd need a vista or 7 key, it isn't free
The Tired Technician#8073: i have a vista key laying around
The Tired Technician#8073: a not OEM one
TofuDelivery86#8914: that will still only work with vista
The Tired Technician#8073: Vista Home Basic i think it is
TofuDelivery86#8914: only 7 and later can upgrade to 10
The Tired Technician#8073: so i can upgrade from XP to Vista at least
The Tired Technician#8073: can i go from Vista to 7?
TofuDelivery86#8914: you'd need a valid 7 key for that system (so not an OEM from another system)
The Tired Technician#8073: which i also have
TofuDelivery86#8914: imho not cost effective though
The Tired Technician#8073: i also have Win7 PE laying around
TofuDelivery86#8914: you're better off using those keys you have for an actual install of 7 or vista that you want to install on
The Tired Technician#8073: well for the older machines that physically cant run 10 i would do for that
TofuDelivery86#8914: if you wanted 10 on that xp machine your best option imo would be a cheap key |
TofuDelivery86#8914: oh, yeah if you just wanted to install vista or 7 on those then you don't need to upgrade, just install it with the key(s) that you have
The Tired Technician#8073: cool
The Tired Technician#8073: id be doing that for the 2 pentium 4 machines, and the 1 celeron machine
TofuDelivery86#8914: wait
TofuDelivery86#8914: vista on a pentium 4?
TofuDelivery86#8914: .
The Tired Technician#8073: nah
The Tired Technician#8073: the XP machine is pentium 4
TofuDelivery86#8914: not worth it, just leave it on 2k or xp
The Tired Technician#8073: socket 478 or something like that?
TofuDelivery86#8914: yeah
The Tired Technician#8073: not 775
TofuDelivery86#8914: generally P4 stuff should be left on XP or 2k
The Tired Technician#8073: but the Pentium D machine, the 2 Core 2 Quad machines, and a first gen core i5 machine
The Tired Technician#8073: i want to bring to win10 |
TofuDelivery86#8914: well
TofuDelivery86#8914: pentium d CAN run win10
The Tired Technician#8073: what i find funny, is that its a core i5, but it only has 2c4t
TofuDelivery86#8914: but in my experience, a pentium d can't run win10 well at all
TofuDelivery86#8914: max id go for a pentium d is vista tbf
The Tired Technician#8073: no, it cant run it well at all
The Tired Technician#8073: but it is useful for win server
TofuDelivery86#8914: ah
The Tired Technician#8073: i can use it as a file server
TofuDelivery86#8914: yeah, you likely don't even need a 10 key for that
TofuDelivery86#8914: You can run win10 without a key, you just get the activate windows watermark and less customization
The Tired Technician#8073: ill probably end up installing win10 home 32bit on it tho
TofuDelivery86#8914: id recommend 64bit for the D as it's a 64bit capable cpu
The Tired Technician#8073: yeah i would install that, but the DVD i have is 32 bit :P
TofuDelivery86#8914: oh |
TofuDelivery86#8914: just burn another dvd or use a usb drive or something idk
The Tired Technician#8073: if i have something else laying around
The Tired Technician#8073: but one of these computers already pinched my tit today, so im done working on hardware today
TofuDelivery86#8914: as for the 1st gen i5 yeah i5-6xx desktop and i5-5xx mobile were 2c4t
The Tired Technician#8073: its a HP Z200 workstation
The Tired Technician#8073: so kind of old
The Tired Technician#8073: but still very usable
TofuDelivery86#8914: ah yeah so like an i5-650 or something
The Tired Technician#8073: i could probably stick a xeon in it
TofuDelivery86#8914: def usable on 10 or something
The Tired Technician#8073: 4c8t
TofuDelivery86#8914: you could but not really worth it
The Tired Technician#8073: not really
The Tired Technician#8073: 1st gen is kinda not really the best anymore
The Tired Technician#8073: but im sure ill find a use for it somewhere |
TofuDelivery86#8914: well it depends on what your looking for
TofuDelivery86#8914: 4c8t xeons like that would be decent multicore performance
The Tired Technician#8073: honestly i dont really know. Im up to my ears in computers, and all my needs for everything i need a computer for is already fulfilled
The Tired Technician#8073: only thing im really hurting for is out of my main computer storage space
TofuDelivery86#8914: you could take HDDs out of some of those systems and slap them in your main
TofuDelivery86#8914: although check the SMART stats and make sure they're not failing
The Tired Technician#8073: well my main system already has like 20Tb of storage in it
The Tired Technician#8073: because im just all about that hoarder life
TofuDelivery86#8914: *o*
The Tired Technician#8073: like 4Tb of that is actual 3.5" HDDs, the rest is like USB external storage
The Tired Technician#8073: plus a 1Tb NVMe ssd just cuz i got it for like 50 bucks
The Tired Technician#8073: funny thing is, all my games, movies, shows, and all my other stuff
The Tired Technician#8073: im actually close to using that 20Tb of storage
The Tired Technician#8073: and since i was thinking about actually getting into video editing, im gunna need more storage
The Tired Technician#8073: that could *probably* be taken care of by an SD card on my phone, and maybe just connect my phone to the computer to pull different clips |
The Tired Technician#8073: but we will see
The Tired Technician#8073: I just found out that since the Pentium D system is on the 945GC chipset
The Tired Technician#8073: it has support for Core 2 Duo
The Tired Technician#8073: which is miles better than Pentium D
The Tired Technician#8073: should also not want to start any fires as a bonus
D.D.M#8226: :Smart:
The Tired Technician#8073: as of right now, a 9500 gt is in there as a placeholder. But i might end up just keeping that in there as the display adapter
The Tired Technician#8073: its capable of displaying a 1080p image

Foxious#1859: ?
Foxious#1859: you mean can a RX 550 run on a VS 450?
Foxious#1859: It will run, but with the entirety of my finnish heart i am begging you to get a 500 or a 550 PSU, so you can upgrade in the future, as the RX 550 is quite weak and will struggle with modern games.
Cake.exe#6828: @Bae the Rx550 doesn't draw a lot of power, I think you'll be fine.
Bae#4506: mkay |
TofuDelivery86#8914: Any clue what this means? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/811335887807447070/VID_20210216_152756497.mp4
TofuDelivery86#8914: installed that board in a case and now it's deciding to do this
TofuDelivery86#8914: the beep is continuous (won't stop) and changes pitch if for example I connect or disconnect a SATA power connector
D.D.M#8226: I cant hear anything
D.D.M#8226: Only fan noise
D.D.M#8226: And wind
TofuDelivery86#8914: Faint beeping
TofuDelivery86#8914: It's continually beeping, maybe you'll need to turn up the volume? Idk
NecroFlex#9105: could be a faulty PSU
NecroFlex#9105: if the pitch changes when you disconnect a powered device, it could mean a rail on the PSU is bad
NecroFlex#9105: tho which rail is anyone's guess
NecroFlex#9105: did the board post with no issues outsice the case?
TofuDelivery86#8914: Yes
TofuDelivery86#8914: I now took it out of the case and it is doing the same
NecroFlex#9105: did you change anything on the board before you put it into the case? |
NecroFlex#9105: the case has standoffs right?
NecroFlex#9105: the PSU isn't faulty or did you not test that beforehand?
Foxious#1859: hey mind if i come in? because i have had a looong beep because of bad ram
Foxious#1859: you can try to fiddle with the sticks before going too far with the PSU option
TofuDelivery86#8914: Yep it's the power supply
TofuDelivery86#8914: I just tried a different psu
TofuDelivery86#8914: And it posts fine
TofuDelivery86#8914: .
NecroFlex#9105: What kind of PSU is the dead one?
TofuDelivery86#8914: EVGA 430w 80+ white unit
TofuDelivery86#8914: from about uhh
TofuDelivery86#8914: 2015
NecroFlex#9105: Odd, evga is known for good psus
Foxious#1859: it might be releated to the fact that corsair budget psu's from the era were also known for unreliability
Cake.exe#6828: Weird, I have been using an EVGA 850W PSU and pushing the power limitations its entire life and never has had a problem. Though I would trip the PSU when I drew too much power |
Foxious#1859: You arent using a budget unit
Foxious#1859: his pc had
Foxious#1859: 430w white is a bottom of a barrel unit
Foxious#1859: well, in the reputable psu terms anyway
Muse#0557: Evga are not known for good cheap psus lol
TofuDelivery86#8914: i should mention this isn't my main pc thank fuck
Alcyone#2233: the evga white are junk
Cake.exe#6828: Does anyone know what these amplifier settings do? And which one I should be using? Auto Switch makes the audio louder with no noticeable drop in quality.

The Tired Technician#8073: @TofuDelivery86 that sounds like it could be a RAM issue. Ive seen similar problems like that on OEM boards with ram it didnt like.
The Tired Technician#8073: i would just try different sticks of RAM to see if any different kinds of sticks solves the issue
The Tired Technician#8073: it could also be an incompatible CPU type. If the bios isnt updated as much as it can be for instance
TofuDelivery86#8914: no, I swapped the PSU and the system POSTs fine
TofuDelivery86#8914: RAM is fine, I've tried both sticks, besides those were running in another system until like a week ago

mi3night#2562: the a8 cpu is so weak, even a pentium from 4 years ago the pentium g4560 can beat it
mi3night#2562: the integrated HD6550D is probably as good as a modern igpu
mi3night#2562: so treat that pc like a plague unless it's like $30

Rea77y#6618: when I first got my cpu I got it with 2t 2*32 ram kit

The United States Air Force#7904: Lol
The United States Air Force#7904: But it sells
The United States Air Force#7904: Idk
The United States Air Force#7904: I mean I would get it for 30
The United States Air Force#7904: Use the psu/case/ram with my h77 mb for a build and oc the amd a8 till it dies :epicgamer:
NecroFlex#9105: that's one ugly case tho
Cake.exe#6828: My pc does that. I cannot run on the XMP profile on my bios. My memory is 2666MHz but if I went anything over 2400, my computer wouldn't boot. Come to find out it was just my CPU being limited to 2400MHz... |
Rea77y#6618: Oh in my case it was just ryzen not liking 2 tier ram yeah with the price I paid for this stuff if it did that I would have killed someone
shyghost#9288: I am quite confused right now and I need some help. The sticker on my GPU (Radeon 7350) says that my memory type is DDR3. The AMD Control Center also states that. But GPU-Z says that my memory type is GDDR3. Is there a way I could make sure which memory type my GPU is using?
DarknessFalls229#2286: i would believe the actual sticker of the GPU, perhaps the driver tells GPU-Z that its GDDR3
DarknessFalls229#2286: you can probably see how it clocks, as DDR3 is a bit slower than GDDR3
DarknessFalls229#2286: or rather, can be slower
shyghost#9288: How can I check that?
DarknessFalls229#2286: i think you can also check with HWinfo
DarknessFalls229#2286: for the type of memory
DarknessFalls229#2286: GPU-Z tells you the memory speed aswell
shyghost#9288: GPU Clock is at 650MHz, Memory at 800MHz
DarknessFalls229#2286: pretty spot on for regular DDR3
DarknessFalls229#2286: buuut GDDR3 could also be clocked that way. and yet i still believe the sticker thats on the card
shyghost#9288: Yeah my 9500GT, that has GDDR3 memory, has very simliar speeds
shyghost#9288: So I'm just very confused now
DarknessFalls229#2286: what does HWinfo say? |
shyghost#9288: I don't know where to find the option
shyghost#9288: Oh, nevermind
shyghost#9288: DDR3 SDRAM
shyghost#9288: Thanks for the help
DarknessFalls229#2286: np
read bio/description#8459: yall think i could somehow get my 3000 mhz ram to run at 3000 mhz actually? currently at 2666 mhz cuz haha 4 sticks on first gen ryzen go brrrr, 2 sticks could go high no problems
DarknessFalls229#2286: perhaps with a bios update
NecroFlex#9105: Is the ram designed to go to 3000MHz?
NecroFlex#9105: usually the more ram sticks you have, the more issues you have at higher frequencies
DarknessFalls229#2286: youd guess that 3000 mhz ram is supposed to run at 3000 mhz actually?
NecroFlex#9105: oh, missread that, my bad
NecroFlex#9105: which motherboard?
NecroFlex#9105: also, is this a kit of 4 of the same ram or is it different?
Alcyone#2233: @read bio/description update to the latest bios if you havent already. but 1st gen ryzen clocks mem about as good as x99. so I wouldnt get my hopes up
Alcyone#2233: also try bumping dram voltage to 1.4, and setting soc at 1.1 if auto isnt already setting that or higher |
read bio/description#8459: Sort of latest
TofuDelivery86#8914: Okay so I got my hands on a different PSU (265w 80+ gold out of an optiplex 790) and I have the exact same issue as the EVGA 430W, but switching to the 280w garbage unit it POSTs every time
TofuDelivery86#8914: I get fanspin, no video, and a whining noise
TofuDelivery86#8914: Only difference I can find between those power supplies is both the optiplex one and the evga one have one pin of the ATX 24pin connector missing (which I understand is an optional wire for -5V on an earlier version of ATX12V) while the other one has it
TofuDelivery86#8914: but in the motherboard technical manual, it says it is not needed

D.D.M#8226: Hmm
D.D.M#8226: Confusing
TofuDelivery86#8914: That may not be the issue
D.D.M#8226: To me the whining sounds like a cap problem
D.D.M#8226: Most of the time
TofuDelivery86#8914: But I don't know what the hell else would cause two functional PSUs to not work and one to work
D.D.M#8226: What brand is the crappy psu?
TofuDelivery86#8914: uh
TofuDelivery86#8914: AGI |
D.D.M#8226: Makes sense
D.D.M#8226: Never heard of em
TofuDelivery86#8914: lol
D.D.M#8226: What mobo do you have?
TofuDelivery86#8914: board is an Intel DH55PJ
TofuDelivery86#8914: CPU is an i3-550
D.D.M#8226: Well
D.D.M#8226: The only thing i can think of is that either something is wrong with the mobo
D.D.M#8226: And maybe the crappy psu gives a crappy voltage that kicks it alive
TofuDelivery86#8914: i can't imagine how the board would be toast though, and yet work flawlessly with that PSU
TofuDelivery86#8914: especially because of one thing
TofuDelivery86#8914: this board for some reason can crank the i3-550 past 4GHz (BCLK OC) without an issue
D.D.M#8226: Breh
D.D.M#8226: Wow
TofuDelivery86#8914: it seems to be rock solid |
TofuDelivery86#8914: yeah.
D.D.M#8226: Idk
D.D.M#8226: You got another pai
D.D.M#8226: Psu
TofuDelivery86#8914: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/811721457017028639/image0.jpg
TofuDelivery86#8914: I have uhh
TofuDelivery86#8914: some BTX Dell unit although it likely has a slightly different pinout.
TofuDelivery86#8914: i'll have to check
D.D.M#8226: Ye do that
D.D.M#8226: Dont want it to go mad
TofuDelivery86#8914: lol
TofuDelivery86#8914: Well I have returned
TofuDelivery86#8914: The pinout is correct
TofuDelivery86#8914: So I plugged it in and tested it
TofuDelivery86#8914: with that BTX thing it powers on and works without issue |
TofuDelivery86#8914: POSTs
TofuDelivery86#8914: this is what this one looks like https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/811724335214755860/20660t550.png
TofuDelivery86#8914: should also mention the -5V pin is empty on this one and it works, so it can't be that
D.D.M#8226: hmm
D.D.M#8226: maybe it doesnt like those psus
D.D.M#8226: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
mynameistak3n#6865: I just bought a 380X, it powers on but it won't post, but when I visited the seller the same day he tested it it posted
mynameistak3n#6865: I have a 500w PSU but I'm using a FX processor and an AIO is it possible that the PSU has insufficient power
D.D.M#8226: ye
D.D.M#8226: looks like psu doesnt have enough power
DarknessFalls229#2286: its a pretty high wattage part, so if your PSU isnt of that great quality it might be the reason why it doesnt post
DarknessFalls229#2286: you _could_ hook up a secondary PSU to your system and see if it boots with more power available. Of course only if you dont have a better PSU at hand
Deleted User#0000: My new minecraft server :3 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/812053750604496926/20210218_133741.jpg
D.D.M#8226: Uuu
D.D.M#8226: Nice |
DarknessFalls229#2286: uh
DarknessFalls229#2286: why the GPU?
D.D.M#8226: What does it have?
Deleted User#0000: It has a xeon x3440, 16gb of ram, and a radeon r7 250
Deleted User#0000: Also an ssd
D.D.M#8226: Hmm
DarknessFalls229#2286: pretty decent for a minecraft server
D.D.M#8226: Not bad
DarknessFalls229#2286: but still, why a gpu?
Deleted User#0000: Because the server had a spot for it and I wanted to install one XD
DarknessFalls229#2286: hm fair
DarknessFalls229#2286: i do stupid things like that
D.D.M#8226: How does it run?
Deleted User#0000: I was a little worried though, the rise cable I'm using for it kinda makes it bulge up a bit. Thankfully it didn't hit the top of the case
Deleted User#0000: I still need to set it up and everything, I can probably post an update later or somthing lol |
DarknessFalls229#2286: i currently have a server setup as a gaming pc
DarknessFalls229#2286: two E5630's with a GTX 760
Deleted User#0000: A duel socket system?
DarknessFalls229#2286: yes
DarknessFalls229#2286: i wouldnt know how to cram two CPUs in a single socket
Deleted User#0000: That would be socket 775, yea?
DarknessFalls229#2286: nope
DarknessFalls229#2286: 1366
DarknessFalls229#2286: though i am planning a 771 gaming rig
DarknessFalls229#2286: beats out an i7 3770 in multi
D.D.M#8226: I am thinking of making a minecraft server with a pi 4
D.D.M#8226: Maybe
DarknessFalls229#2286: make a pi cluster
D.D.M#8226: Nah i am not that experienced also high school:crome:
The United States Air Force#7904: yeah school sucks |
The United States Air Force#7904: ass
D.D.M#8226: I mean by i dont get paid
The United States Air Force#7904: oh that too
D.D.M#8226: Pi cluster is gonna cost sum
The United States Air Force#7904: it takes up the whole day
The United States Air Force#7904: and no pay
The United States Air Force#7904: lol
Deleted User#0000: Somtimes you find people just giving old hardware away
Deleted User#0000: That's where I get most of mine
The United States Air Force#7904: same
DarknessFalls229#2286: every now and then you just gotta get lucky
The United States Air Force#7904: how I got a few systems
The United States Air Force#7904: i3 2120t
D.D.M#8226: Well the bad thing is also i have no free ethernet ports on my router
DarknessFalls229#2286: i got a friend thats gotten some pc stuff for me |
D.D.M#8226: So i will need a second switch
Deleted User#0000: Perhaps get an ethernet switch mabye
Deleted User#0000: Yea
D.D.M#8226: Ye i have on
D.D.M#8226: One
D.D.M#8226: And that one is all used up
D.D.M#8226: And the main router has 2 ports already occupied for the tv boxes
D.D.M#8226: From my isp
D.D.M#8226: But ive been uncovering some parts from other pcs
Alcyone#2233: get a 2nd router and more ethernets
The United Earth citizen#0382: Any suggestions on *really good* tws earbuds below $100, that are sold on aliexpress or ebay? Amazon simply doesn't ship to my shithole
D.D.M#8226: I would probs recommend you the taotronics sound libertys
D.D.M#8226: I forgo the model
D.D.M#8226: But i they are like between 50 60$
D.D.M#8226: Judging from Dankpodses experience they are very good at that price |
D.D.M#8226: And i think they sell on ebay
The United Earth citizen#0382: for some reason they look exactly like one chinese model costing something around 30 bucks, so i'm doubtful they're that good after all
D.D.M#8226: The dude praised them as being quite good
D.D.M#8226: Better than the raycons
The United Earth citizen#0382: lmao, even first gen apple shitbuds knockoffs are better than raincans
D.D.M#8226: Ye lol
D.D.M#8226: Gen 2 also suck
The United Earth citizen#0382: Didn't doubt that a single second
Yet they gotta do those mass sponsorships
The United Earth citizen#0382: "Hunlo i'm <random gaming youtuber name> and Raycons sponsored this video, but talking about them is boring so to show you how robust they are i'm gonna shove 'em up my ass"
D.D.M#8226: Ye lol
bigmoney#0786: Working on a family member's PC right now, cant get it past the boot screen, pressing delete or f2 doesn't do anything, any ideas? I tried a different graphics card and ram but it did nothing
bigmoney#0786: It's also pretty new, it was built in December
The United Earth citizen#0382: what are the symptoms *exactly*? Could do with overheating, chipset issues, usb device crashes, etc
Bae#4506: trying to get os on it? |
Bae#4506: if so spam f8 and select what you wanna boot from
The United Earth citizen#0382: okay, so i bought a magnetic data cable to protect my N97's microusb, right
nokias are notorious for having flimsy usb jacks
and turns out it for some reason just doesn't want to sync and charge at the same time, crashing itself with constant "connected as USB storage" popups
what do i do now to fix this?
Bae#4506: uh
Bae#4506: new charging port??
Rea77y#6618: Help me
Rea77y#6618: Client came in today
Phenom x2 no video swapped gpu, ram and cleared cmos nothing seems to work, no nothing https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/812349664145309736/20210219_174654.jpg
DarknessFalls229#2286: swap the mobo instead?
DarknessFalls229#2286: does it beep without ram installed?
Rea77y#6618: Nope
DarknessFalls229#2286: thats bad
Rea77y#6618: And I don't have a spare mobo |
DarknessFalls229#2286: spare CPU?
DarknessFalls229#2286: its uncommon for a CPU to fail but ive had it happen once
Rea77y#6618: I think that's the culprit
Rea77y#6618: No beeps
Rea77y#6618: No nothing
DarknessFalls229#2286: im guessing its either the mobo or the CPU
DarknessFalls229#2286: doesnt hurt to try a different psu aswell
DarknessFalls229#2286: but usually PSUs work or are dead entirely
NecroFlex#9105: @Rea77y what's the mobo model?
NecroFlex#9105: also, clean it up and try again, also check the cmos battery if it's fine, gigabyte has been known to not work if the cmos battery is dead
Rea77y#6618: GA 790xt usb 3
Rea77y#6618: Looks high end af
Rea77y#6618: Dual bios
